Answer:
Radiolabeled carbon atom in CO2
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants fix the atmospheric CO2 into glucose. The process includes carbon fixation during which RuBisCo enzyme catalyzes the reaction of CO2 and a five-carbon compound called RuBP to form 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA). The 3-PGA enters the reduction phase of the Calvin cycle wherein it is reduced into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. Two molecules of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate make one molecule of glucose.
To test the hypothesis that glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate from photosynthesis is used by plants to synthesize lipids, radiolabeled CO2 must be used. The radiolabeled carbon atom in the CO2 would be fixed in the form of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. If the plant uses glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate as a precursor for lipid synthesis, the synthesized lipid molecules would carry the radiolabeled carbon atom.
I could be wrong but I believe the answer is True.
The correct answer is: check for correct placement of the NG tube.
An adequately functioning nasogastric (NG) tube shouldprevent nausea and vomiting because stomach contents
are continuously being removed. Using the NG after abdominal surgery is a routine postoperative procedure until gastrointestinal tract start tofunction properly. The patency of the tube should be checked together with the amount and character of gastric drainage.
